The Wilson Shok-Buff prevents the slide from battering the frame during recoil by sandwiching a 1/10" thick poly fiber buffer between the slide and frame contact areas. When you are shooting high-performance loads in your 1911-style pistol, you want the extra protection that the original Shok-Buff provides. The object of the frame-to-slide buffer is to protect the pistol from wear; if the buffer is not soft enough to take the damage instead of the pistol, what have you accomplished? We feel the original Shok-Buff is the optimum balance between shock absorption and longevity. Easily replaceable after absorbing up to 1,000 rounds of repeated firings, the Shok-Buff slides over the recoil spring guide between guide and spring.
